It's all about the weather today, I drove through pouring rain and then had an all too brief hour of sun this morning. A moment ago the ground was covered in an onslaught of hail and now it is snowing. Yikes!

Regardless, the spring flowers persist! We are harvesting tulips, daffodils and the very first field perennial, thermopsis. The daffodils are so precious, beautiful creamy whites with a variety of double ruffled centers--salmon pink, Delnashaugh, butter yellow, White Lion and deep saffron, Acropolis. We also have the very fragrant Abba, with multiple creamy white popcorn blossoms on each stem. And last, but not least, lemon yellow double Tahiti, with deep saffron center ruffles. Can you tell, I adore daffodils.

I am still crushing on Gudoshnik, the big, monster double blooming tulip that comes in a variety of shades from lemon yellow to deep coral red--all from the same bulb! It's the luck of the harvest with this beauty. I cut them short-ish and cluster them in vases to look like yellow, peachy, coral peonies. Love them. My favorite tulip.

Renown Unique, another gorgeous double has my heart as well. Again, very much like a peony, everything but the fragrance. Maureen Double is like a small white peony and I adore her as well. Poor Akebono, our double yellow tulip, like the middle sister gets a little overlooked, but she's a darling for color, fragrance and longevity.

Our Avignon Parrot tulips have finished but we began harvesting Flaming Parrots today--always a fav. Stupendous when they are tight and lime green, beautiful when opening and amazing just before they are fully blown and fading.

We also have an excellent variety of French tulips in orange, pink, lavender, purple, white and red.

If you have not tried thermopsis, please let me know and I'll give you a sample. I love this work horse of a flower. The first blooming field perennial on the farm--dear thing out in the freaking snow--it looks like a cross between a snap dragon and a lupine. From the pea family, it is yellow and lasts forever.

Please call, email or text your order today...accepting orders for Mother's Day too.

Tons of tulips rolling in each day. We have an excellent selection of French tulips that span the rainbow. We also have doubles in white, pink, white, peach and coral. The daffodils are finally producing in abundance, beautiful white variations, like a fragrant snow drift--I know, we are all over snow, but it still keeps coming.Thermopsis has made her graceful entrance, the first perennial (not bulb related) in the field. If you have not tried thermopsis, give it a go. It looks like a cross between lupine and snapdragon and it lasts forever.

Happy Easter to one and all. The tulips are really starting to take off and we have an excellent selection of varieties and colors to choose from--fancy double, parrot and French tulips. The daffodils are now producing heavily--these are not your every day grocery store daffy. I have three stems on the kitchen table in front of me and their fragrance is filling the entire room. It smells like SPRING! Heavenly! Don't miss out on these beauties and don't be afraid to mix them in with other flowers. Just make a fresh cut and put them is a vase with fresh water by themselves for a time while they exude their sappy substance. After that they are ready to play nice with the rest of your bouquet--some of us just need a little time out.

Some of the tulips we grow are so big they are amazing. To photograph them with a bit of scale I started putting them into wine glasses and now I can't stop. If you use a smart phone and follow Instagram, please consider following us at Bindweedfarm.
